Just the fact's, ma'am version

Past years: 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999

On the BCS bowl games: Each of the BCS bowl games has traditional conference tie-ins. The most notable of these is, of course, the Rose's Pac-10 - Big 10 match-up, but the others have them as well: Fiesta has the Big 12, Sugar has the SEC, and the Orange has the ACC and Big East. The two remaining spots are at-large bids. If one of the bowls has its conference tie-in ranked first or second in the BCS, then that bowl gets first pick of the conference champs or the top 6 ranked BCS teams (like when the Rose took Oklahoma last year). This page explains it pretty well. I think the primary affiliations this year are 

?=at-large because some conference couldn't fill its bids
* = Accepted invitation
** = Predicted correctly
A team in bold indicates that I predicted the winner correctly
A team in italics means that team won the game, but was not who I picked
A bold score means that I actually managed to pick the score correctly
